Questionnaire Results - Analysis

1) What is your gender?

I gave my questionnaire to 10 teenagers, i made this choice because they are my target audience and it would be beneficial for me to know more about them. I gave my questionnaire out randomly without controlling how many boys or girls took part in the questionnaire.

2) What is your age group?

For the second question, I decided to control the amount of people taking part in the questionnaire in each age group so that I could see if there was a distinction between the different age groups and their preferences.

3)Are you aware of short films?

I asked this question to find out if out of the people I gave my questionnaire to, if any of them were aware of short films or if they had any idea about them. And from the collation of the data, if was I really pleased that put of a possible 10, 9 people were aware of short films.

4) Have you ever watched a short film?

With this question majority of the teenage adults I gave my questionnaire to have watched a short film, which will be really helpful and relevant for me, this is because I will be creating a short film and them knowing and also being aware of it means they know what to expect from mine.

5) If so, how often to you watch them?

Most of the people that answered my questionnaires, don’t really watch short films as often as I thought they would, this would be due to various reasons such as: them being in school/college or them doing coursework.

6) Which do you think is more important?

I asked this question to find out if there was a popular preference with young adults when they watch a film. And the most popular preference was the ‘storyline’; I think this is because they want to be captivated with the story in order to feel some sort of connection with the plot/story of the film.

7) What camera shots would you prefer to see in a short film?

Camera work in any film is very important. This is why I asked the people the type of shots they would prefer to see in a short film. 55%of the people chose ‘Artistically shot’ camera shots, whilst the other 45% said they preferred ‘Simple shot’.

8) What is your favourite film Genre?

Every individual have preferences on the types of genre they would prefer watching. Form the data I collected, it shows most teenagers enjoy watching films with comedy as their genre. This could be because they enjoy the humour and excitement they get from it. Due to the storyline of my film, it is going to fall in the Drama genre. I hope it appeals to other people that watch it.

9) How often do you go to the cinema?

There are various places people go to watch films such as theatre etc. I chose to find out how often young adults visit the cinema. And from the information I have gathered I can tell that young teenagers go to the cinema 2-3 times in a month.

10) How do you find out about new films?

41% of the people answered that they find out about new films through both the internet and television, whilst the other percentage find out about new films though other media platforms such as: magazines, and  film posters. This is very helpful for me because it shows that young adults of this generation are in tune with the media and are up to date on how film producers use different media platforms to advertise their production. This shows that my target audience will be more interested in my film, this is because i will be posting my finished production on the internet for those with technology devices to be able to access, i also be having a film poster for those who don’t go on the internet regularly.

11) Do you watch films on the internet?

Majority of the answer to this question was a ‘Yes’. This is because the find it easier just to open their laptops or just use their mobile phone to watch whatever film they want, some think buying a DVD for like £10 is too much when they can just watch it on the internet.
